ABC Magic 2
This app might be used as you are introducing students to letter sounds. When a letter is choosen, a screen with that letter comes up and below are pictures of items that begin with that letter. Then there is a childs voice that pronounces the item with emphasis on the sound of that letter the student is learning. This is also a user friendly site. I found it very easy to maneuver around in and slide from screen to screen.

BrightStart ABC 123
Tracing and writing letters & numbers. With this app the student can use their finger or a stylus pen to trace letters and numbers. Uppercase and lowercase letters are introduced, numbers and also combination letters (sh, th, ar, or, ing... etc). The student is shown the pattern to trace by following the numbers in order. If the student doesn't trace correctly, the picture will reset and the student will continue with that letter/number until correct. Then a picture of an item is shown relating to the letter/number that the student is working on. The Lite Version is free, however, it is limited to the letters & numbers you can access. The full version gives access to all letters and also gives access to a report card for the student to check progress.

Students will practice skills such as basic counting, sorting, colors, shapes, hand and eye coordination, patterns, balance, matching, math scales, tracing letters and numbers. This app is worth the price.

Babyfirst App (for books)
This is an app that gives you access to Babyfirst books. Some books are free, some cost. The books I have tried are: VocabuLary'sThings That Go!, VocabuLary's People Who Help, Peek-A-Boo Goes Camping, Harry's Birthday Surprise. These mentioned books are probably more for Pre-K level students, however, there are so many more to choose from that maybe more kindergarten & 1st grade appropriate. These books are interactive. Students have an option to read themselves or be read to. Students are able to touch the ipad screen to interact with the characters and pictures.

Three apps in one. Letter sounds, letter writing and 170 first words. Great for early readers. Great Reviews !! Try the LITE version free -- upgrade is full version $2.99 -- but I think it would be a great app to have !!
